It Sure Was Better Back Then |
| Working on the Georgia Line the live long day |
| Ninety nine degrees and only half past May |
| Nailing down the metal with the cross-time blues |
| I had creosote all over my shoes |
| I hated it, you know, now I find I miss it |
| Every time my little pension check rolls in |
| Course I had it bad… hey, not as bad as this is |
| It sure was better back then |
| Yeah, it sure was better back then |
| Working in the rain beneath surplus tarp |
| Foreman in the wagon twanging a sad Jews harp |
| Passing out at night still in my mud caked jeans |
| I was living off of berries and beans |
| I hated it, you know, now I swear I miss it |
| Every time I look down on my pale white skin |
| Course I had it bad… hey not as bad as this is |
| It sure was better back then |
| It sure was better back then |
| Well, the cable caught my leg, and, boy, the damn thing bled |
| Foreman sewed the muscle up with tarp patch thread |
| Sit me by the camp, gonna have the cook clean pans |
| And scrub them down with Georgia red sand… |
| I hated it, you know, now I really I miss it |
| Staring in my TV till the broadcast ends |
| Course I had it bad… hey not as bad as this is |
| It sure was better back then |
| It sure was better back then |
| It sure was better back then |
| And it sure… was better back then |
